Types of Dentures We Offer

We offer multiple denture options to suit your needs, lifestyle, and budget.

Full Dentures

Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth, either upper, lower, or both. They rest on the gums and are custom-crafted to fit your mouth securely while providing a natural-looking smile.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth remaining. They fill the gaps left by missing teeth and are held in place by clasps that attach to your existing teeth.

Implant-Supported Dentures

For greater stability and retention, dentures can be anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures eliminate slipping and provide a more secure, comfortable fit.

Immediate Dentures

Immediate dentures are placed on the same day that remaining teeth are extracted, so you are never without teeth. They serve as a temporary solution while your permanent dentures are being fabricated.

Benefits of Modern Dentures

Today's dentures offer a comfortable, attractive, and functional solution for missing teeth.

Natural Appearance

Modern dentures are crafted to closely replicate the appearance of natural teeth and gums, giving you a confident, attractive smile.

Restored Function

Dentures restore your ability to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and smile without self-consciousness.

Facial Support

Missing teeth can cause the facial muscles to sag, making you look older. Dentures provide internal support to maintain your natural facial contours.

Affordable Tooth Replacement

Dentures are one of the most cost-effective options for replacing multiple missing teeth, making a complete smile accessible to more patients.

Is a Denture Right for You?

Dentures may be right for you if you are missing all or several teeth in an arch, if your remaining teeth cannot be saved, or if you want a more affordable alternative to dental implants. Immediate dentures are placed the same day teeth are extracted, so you are never without teeth while your permanent dentures are made. For added stability, implant-supported dentures anchor to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

What to Expect

  1. Consultation: your dentist examines your mouth and discusses which type of denture suits your needs.
  2. Impressions: detailed impressions or digital scans are taken to design a custom fit.
  3. Fitting: your dentures are tried in and adjusted for comfort, bite, and appearance.
  4. Delivery: your finished dentures are fitted, with instructions for wear and care.
  5. Follow-up: adjustments are common in the first few weeks as your mouth adapts.

Caring for Your Dentures

Remove and rinse your dentures after eating, and brush them daily with a denture brush and non-abrasive cleaner, not regular toothpaste. Soak them overnight in water or a denture-cleaning solution to keep their shape. Clean your gums, tongue, and any remaining natural teeth daily, and see your dentist regularly so your dentures can be checked and relined as your mouth changes over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about dentures.

What are dentures?

Dentures are custom-made, removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and restore the appearance and function of your smile.

How long does it take to get dentures?

The process typically takes several weeks from your first consultation to final delivery, including impressions, fittings, and adjustments. Immediate dentures can be placed the same day as extractions, followed by adjustments once healing is complete.

Will dentures feel natural?

Modern dentures are more comfortable and realistic than older versions. There is usually a short adjustment period as you get used to speaking and eating with them, and your dentist will make adjustments as needed.

How often do dentures need to be replaced?

Most dentures last 5 to 10 years, though your mouth changes shape over time, so relines or replacements are sometimes needed sooner. Regular checkups let your dentist monitor the fit.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Most patients can return to a normal diet after an adjustment period, starting with softer foods and gradually adding firmer ones as they adapt to chewing with dentures.
